Young Fiona, rider of the gold queen dragon Talenth, has returned from spending three years in the past, where she helped sick and injured dragons and riders to heal in order to return to the present to fight Thread.

From the Publisher:

With a cast of beloved characters from previous Pern novels, Dragongirl is another triumph for Todd McCaffrey—and a riveting chapter for the Dragonriders of Pern.

Young Fiona, rider of the gold queen Talenth, has returned with the dragons and riders who fled into the past to heal their battle wounds and prepare to fight anew the menace of Thread. Now more than three years older, Fiona is no longer a child but a woman—thrust into authority by a shocking tragedy. But leading weyrfolk who are distrustful of a young outsider will be only one of her challenges. Despite gaining reinforcements from the past, too few dragons have survived the recent plague to stem the tide of the intensifying Threadfall. As a senior Weyrwoman, Fiona must take decisive action. With the aid of Lorana, the rider who sacrificed her dragon for others, and Fiona’s true love, the harper Kindan, she proposes a daring, nearly impossible plan. But if it succeeds, it just might save them all.

Terrible

I have been a fan of the PERN books for over 20 years, and joyfully await the publication of each new chapter in the saga...until this book. It pains me to say it, but this book was just TERRIBLE. The writing is choppy, the plot is confusing, and the premise is just ridiculous. A foursome of a weyrleader, weyrwoman, dragonless weyrwoman, and a harper? And a mating flight by proxy????? I kept reading and reading, thinking, "It's going to get better any second now." It never did. Save your money, don't buy this book.
